The moving part I got right, but when it comes to...

    Is there anyway to bypass a shader other than using a GUI (to clarify I mean a draw_sprite function in a Draw GUI). Why don't I want to use a GUI. It's sticking to the screen, and I don't know anyway to stop doing this, or remove it without removing the object it's made from. Thank you for...
